Cuban Treefrog ( A Second Spotting )

Osteopilus septentrionalis

Description:

I went outside at 10:30 p.m. at night, to look for insects to photograph, at the left and right, outdoor, nightlight bulbs. To my amazement - there was another Cuban treefrog, resting on the left side, of the left, outdoor, nightlight bulb. This frog, was resting here, trying to catch flying insects, to eat. There was also other insects, that rested near the left, outdoor, nightlight bulb, and this frog, would eat these insects too. This frog, was about two inches long. The color of this frog, was a greenish-brown color. This frog, had bumps on its back. The color of its front and rear limbs, was banded. Dark and medium colors. The color of its eyes, was black and gold. This frog, had enormous toe pads. There was also a gray moth, resting under the left, outdoor, nightlight bulb. I also spotted, one green beetle, and one black beetle, near the right, outdoor, nightlight bulb. The Cuban treefrog, is the largest treefrog in North America, ( 1.5 to 5 inches, in body length ).

Habitat:

The Cuban treefrog, can be found from the Florida Keys, to Gainesville and Jacksonville, with sightings throughout Florida's Panhandle and beyond. Cuban treefrogs, are found in a variety of natural and human-modified habitats in Florida. Natural habitats include: pine forests, hardwood hammocks, and swamps.

Notes:

I spotted this Cuban treefrog, resting near the left, outdoor, nightlight bulb, at 10:30 p.m. at night.

I remember seeing the Cuban treefrogs in Florida also. They are abundant, and fairly comfortable around residential areas.
